May be it is too late for me to make some reviews and share with all of you some tips and software that I recommend to install on your computer. Unfortunately there are many functions in Gnome which are not in Xfce that made me spent just a week with Xubuntu.

Xubuntu is quite useful for old computer users that are low-performance and I am confident that they will like the simple, fast and furious operating system.
I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, Acer Aspire 4520.

Ubuntu use Ext4 file system to manage and use GRUB2 for boot record. I heared many people complaining about GRUB2 if they enabled dual-boot or triple-boot on their computer. If you have a dual-boot system, I encourage you not to update unless you are using Ubuntu as your primary operating system.

I can note some changes to Ubuntu Karmic:

- Network Manager with a more stable wireless driver. Network Manager is no longer a problem for me. Wireless can be activated and turned off by using the wireless button on the laptop like in Windows.

- There is no conflict if you use wireless USB adapter.

- boot and startup performance are faster.

- The installation process are easierwith a simple slideshow about Ubuntu during the installation process.

- 2GB of data storage for free using Launchpad account and Ubuntu one.

- Pidgin has been replaced by Empathy. But I do not like Empathy much. I removed it and replace it with Pidgin.

- Do not forget to upgrade all your software and repository.

Software that I recommend all of you install to install on Ubuntu Karmic:

4. Because "newbottle" use Windows XP as a basis, I copied two files below which are mfc42.dll and msvcp60.dll from original Windows XP. Avoid to download these two files from untrusted sources on the Internet.

Put these two files in your bottle system and system32 folder. For example:

This year is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) 25th Anniversary. The shell-lebration was held last April (What The Shell? I missed that!). My favourite turtle is Raphael. Maybe be because of his hot headed style. There is another turtle that I like as well as Raphael because of his intellectual and hacking skills, can you guess it?

Luckily, TMNT comics and TV shows available on the BitTorrent network. Thanks Bram Cohen for the protocol :DTMNT 2003 screenshots will be uploaded soon!

First of all, I will like to share to all of you on how to install Eclipse IDE with Sun JDK instead of GNU JDK (don't even understand what is Scanner class!! - "Scanner can not be resolved to a type").

Download Sun JDK from Sun Website of course for linux (click here) or just go to http://www.sun.com for latest JDK.

Open Terminal or Konsole if you are using Kubuntu.

Open your JDK download directory (save at Home folder recommended), right-click, select copy and right-click and select Paste to paste on Terminal.

There are many ways to install eclipse but I recommend to use Add/Remove Application at Applications>Add/Remove...

7. Install eclipse and take your break and have some coffee. Trust me, it will take long time unless you have very high speed internet connection. I envy you if you do! ;-) Streamyx Sucks. TMNet Direct which my university subscribed is not even better.

After the installation finished , type sudo -b gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home . For kubuntu, you just need to change gedit to kwrite.

“Note: An exception occurred while getting the Javadoc. See log for details”I think that many people are having same problem as me and annoyed with the above message when using Eclipse to do their Java Project and depend on Javadoc to assist their programming tasks.
